Replaced the original Michelin Primacy 4's a few days after getting the car new and the Asymmetric 6's immediately felt sportier with more direct steering feel, less body roll and a tremendous amount of grip, particularly in the wet, making the drive safer and more confident in all conditions. At the same time, road noise inside the car went up a notch and the car felt a tad bouncier although I would still consider it comfortable and quiet. Wear level is good – 6mm tread left all round after 5000 gentle miles. Fuel consumption: managed 69.9 mpg from London to Cambridge (cold engine, no aircon or heating, around 20C). A great set of tires!

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.
